The more awake you are, the less there is of you here. At the very deepest level of Presence, you have disappeared and only God is.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
When you are fully present, you transcend duality and open into Oneness. In Presence, there is power without opposition. There is love without hate, acceptance without judgment and allowing without control.

When you learn to take responsibility for yourselves, then you will start taking responsibility for the planet. The planet is being destroyed by your abandonment of responsibility. You assume that you own the planet. And ownership confers upon you the right to do as you like. You do not own this beautiful planet. You are simply a guest here.

If your commitment is to being present, then there will come a time when being present becomes your natural state. The present moment becomes your home. You will have short excursions into the world of the mind, but you never go so far into the mind that you get lost there.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
The past is gone. The future never arrives. In truth, there is no life outside of this moment!
Leonard Jacobson
Image
The price of freedom is to allow freedom. Very few people are willing to pay the price.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
Every moment you are present, there is a little less darkness in our world.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
Awakening is about liberating yourself from the prison that is the world of the mind and daring to be here as all that you are.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
When you are truly present, you illuminate everything around you.

Leonard Jacobson
Image
How does silence find its way out of that noisy, chattering mind? That endless maze of thought, concept, opinion, belief? How does perfect silence and pure consciousness find its way out of that maze? Very simply: Bring yourself present with something that's HERE, in the moment. Then you'll be HERE again.
